What Was Your First Fragrance?

By: Jacinta O’Halloran (View Profile)

At fifteen, I thought I was the height of sophistication going to the local disco drowned in my mother’s Dune by Christian Dior. I remember my friends reeking of Anais Anais, Musk from the Body Shop, or Poison. I can’t imagine any of us would be caught dead in these fragrances today. Still, your first fragrance stays with you, in the same way your first kiss or first love does. What did you adore as a teenager? Do you still like it now?

Love's Baby Soft & Heaven Sent were my first perfumes as a kid. Then in high school I moved on to Exclamation, Skin Musk, and Colors by Benneton. I can almost still smell them! And I got the Liz Claiborne triangle bottle as a gift. In 10th grade, I got my boyfriend Drakkar for Christmas, it had just come out then, and the girls went crazy over that scent! Do they even still make that??

I liked Exclamation, it is terrible! Big white and black bottle looked like an exclamation point. You could smell me before you saw me! That crap gives me a headache! In high school it was all about CK-1 smells like lemon furniture polish and Eternity mixed... Yuck! In the 90's Calvin Klein was it he had Obsession, Eternity, and Escape. Good fragrances but they have been way over sprayed! (by the way I still like Poison the purple bottle not the green or red, Cristian Dior can do no wrong:)
I love Chanel #5 , it is not too over powering just a lingering scent, but oh so feminine. Makes me feel very girly which is a good thing plus always get comments. Do not feel finished dressing till scent is on-----Barbara

I remember wearing Love's Baby Soft during my last Elementary School year (6th grade)
My first fragrance was Windsong by Matachabelli (spelling may be wrong). This was popular back in the late 1950's when I was in high school. It still has specia memories for me and each time I see it on a fragrance counter which is seldom, I spray a little on me for old times sake.l
